Quartz City

Finally finished up my 1967 entry to the CDR 700 Go! series. The object is to fill up a 700MB CD-R with mp3s of songs released in a given year. No other guidelines – some folks went with hits, some with obscurity, some with both. Here’s the 1973 comp I did earlier to give you an idea. There’s so much great stuff released in 1967 (I started with a 3.2GB pile of tracks), that a thoroughly complete collection could take up a couple CD-Rs, so right off I axed just about anything that’s common on classic rock radio. The final track listing is:
